Slugs Piombino

Iacopo "Slugs" Piombino (1992-) was an Italian-American gangster who made a name for himself as a career criminal in southern California after 2017. Piombino started off as an armed robber and a hitman, but he later evolved into a heist crew member, crime boss, drug trafficker, and arms trafficker, and he was involved in countless crimes in Los Angeles and rural Blaine County.

Early life
Iacopo Piombino was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1992 to a family of Italian Catholic descent. His father was involved with the American Mafia, working with the Pegorino crime family. The young Iacopo took part in some criminal activities as a member of the Pegorino family, and he gained the nickname "slugs" after he survived a drive-by shooting carried out by the rival Pavano crime family. Piombino later befriended Los Angeles criminal Lamar Davis through Facebook, and Davis invited him to come out to Los Angeles in 2017, as there were many business opportunities there. Piombino sought to get involved with the lucrative arms trade, the drug trade, heists, and other activities in the West, where he could make a name for himself. He decided to fly out to Los Angeles to find a new home, and he entered the city as a new man.

Arrival in LA
Piombino arrived in the city and met Davis at the airport, and they greeted each other before Davis handed him a Taurus PT92 pistol in his Cadillac sedan. Davis drove him to a street race organized by his friend, parking at a Hollywood parking lot so that Piombino could choose his car. Piombino chose a red Ford Crown Victoria sedan, and he defeated Lamar in a race that took them through the northern parts of the city. Davis saw potential in Piombino, and he decided to introduce him to The Families drug dealer Gerald G. Piombino was paid $500 to disrupt a deal between the Ballas and Vagos, and he had to pursue the drugs carrier upstate into Blaine County, where he killed him and took his drugs. He returned the drugs to Gerald for payment, and Gerald decided to use Piombino as an associate. Piombino was also referred to the Armenian car dealer Simeon Yetarian, who employed Davis; Yetarian wanted Piombino to take valuable cars to him for resale.
